Who are French national team players?

Aside from Balotelli, who do you believe are the best up and coming players for the Italian National Team?

• Players that could perhaps play in Brazil in four years for the next world cup or that Italians should be excited about.

• Answer:

  Like you say Balotelli is an obvious one for the future, his speed, power, confidence and finishing are world class... Santon is a versatile defender who can play right back or left back and is still very young.. Cassano isn't up and coming as he's been an international for a while and is probably slightly past the peak of his career but is probably Italy's best creative midfielder and stubborn Lippi knows this deep down. Giovinco is brilliant... he has showed moments of what he is capable of at Juventus but has been denied regular first team football as competition for his position on the left side has been stiff at the side with Diego and Candreva. I would have definitely brought Giovinco, Cassano and Balotelli to the World Cup and possibly started with all three in my first team...
